UNSPSC 50381984 Stayman apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed applesauce products that state and local governments source for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show purchasing bodies acquiring both ready-to-serve canned applesauce in bulk and dried apple products, with issuing bodies spanning state corrections departments, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts—including Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District—have posted solicitations under or adjacent to this code within the past six months, indicating consistent demand across jurisdictions. The scope of work includes canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, USDA 2011 commodity specification compliant, packed in juice, water, or light syrup with minimum one-year shelf life), dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service, and applesauce as a line item within broader food product procurements. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas HHSC; Illinois Chief Procurement Office); school districts at both independent and county levels (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education); and municipal nutrition centers (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bid due July 31, 2026), with historical pricing of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (proposals due July 16, 2026); and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million).

Buy American provisions apply across school district solicitations in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, requiring domestic agricultural commodity content (minimum 51 percent for processed products). Commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence is standard across all issuing bodies.
